New reel?

[rustyb]

I need a new reel and was wondering what is the best reel for inland fishing? I have a curado and like it. Is there something better?

These go on sale for $29.99 quite often, the next time they do I'm buying 4 or 5 more

I have the h2o mettle. I was thinking no way this thing can last for 29.00
So I was looking at the higher end shimano, Like the chronarch or the core.
By the way the H20 cast farther than anything i have ever used but the drag is not nearly as smooth as my curado.

I bought a Core and still throw my 200e7 over it. Can't beat em IMO. I just love the size of them. Fit in my hand perfectly. Look on ebay and you can still find the 200e7's. I have 6 of them and plan on buying more.

e7 is the older previous Curado. The g7 is the new line. Shimano just started using cheaper/plastic parts on the new ones. They aren't as good as the old ones. So basically now the Chronarch is the same as the older 200e7's.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for all the replies

Mettle all the way... that's all I buy now...I do not rinse them because i have found the water gets in and freezes the bearing that is on the handle.. these are easy to pull apart and clean... I spray them with reel majic after trips... the main problem that you will have is the bearing on the handle..I use to buy expensive reels but cost 20 bucks to have them cleaned so I figure I would just by a new one and keep the old one for parts...They cast just as good as any other reel beside my supercaster but the supercaster didn't hold up at all.

I just bought 3 lew's team speed spool model TL1H. It's last years model for $149.99. They retailed for 279.95. Got them at academy. Lew's are great reels!
